In a similar vein, The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has said that anybody that is still preaching that the problem of Nigeria is Yoruba or Hausa or Fulani does not love Nigeria.

Reports have it that Sanusi made this known on Wednesday, June 14, via a series of posts on Instagram.

KAMI gathered that he said the problem with Nigeria is that a group of people from each and every ethnic tribe is very selfish.

The Emir of Kano revealed that the poverty that is found in Maiduguri is even worse than any poverty that can be found in any part of the South.

He however blasted the groups that have resorted to ‘hate speech’ along ethnic lines.

The former CBN governor said: ''My grandfather was an Emir also fulani my uncle and guardian was also the immediate late Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero and therefore I represent all that has been talked about this afternoon.

Sir Olaniwun can be forgiven for the way he spoke, but I cannot forgive people of my generation speaking in that language.

''Let us go into this issue because there are so many myths that are being bandied around. Before colonialism, there was nothing like Northern Nigeria, Before the Sokoto Jihad, there was nothing like the Sokoto caliphate".
